I want to systemize the auto reply and have a V.A. do that maybe, to determine motivation..cheers

@Matthew SmithWe pay for our learnings one way or another.Get a GC and learn through the process.To systematize property management get a ARM certified property manager from IREM.org follow how they do it then adopt the system as yours.Good luckPaul

Do not expect someone to just share the systems they have worked hard to develop over the years with someone that is going to use it to compete with them.

So if there is a water leak is it going to be ok for him to call into work to take care of your property?

The really old systems will have the pilot light as mentioned.

So we have a 2 piece toilet - it is one of those water saver ones and we hate it!

The house was built in 1990 and even though I have never upgraded the HVAC unit or water heater, they have been serviced and still going strong, no issues with this blizzard either.I will take my chances.

We upgrade insulation, remove furnace, gas hot water tank, gas oven/range, and baseboard pipes then install electric base board heaters, ranges, and water tanks.

There was a pipe that burst which flooded the unit with 3-4" of water.

60% is if landlord pays the water, gas , electric etc.If you the landlord do not pay any of that and it is direct billed from the electric company to the tenant on separate meters then I use 50% expenses.You have when purchasing IMMEDIATE CAPEX and ONGOING CAPEX.
